HAMILL, Charles H. (abridged)

The community was pained to learn of the death Wednesday morning at 6½ o'clock, at his residence, of Charles H. Hamill, an old and prominent resident of the town. He had been ill several months, gorwing worse under increasing complications of internal disorders, but it was only within the last few days that the manifestations of disease became premonitory of an early and fatal issue. Mr. Hamill was born in Cecil county, this State, January 10, 1822. He was therefore, 69 years old, less 3 days. He came to this county about  50 years ago and early took a practical interest in coal development. He was for a number of years superintendent of the Frostburg coal company, the pioneer company of the region, of which his father-in-law, Meshech Frost, was president. With Mr. Frost's death in 1863 the property was sold to the Consolidation coal company, Mr. Hamill settling up the extended business of the old company. Shortly after he organized the Spruce Hill coal company, whose operations he conducted about seven years. Later he originated and projected the development of the Grant coal, iron and lumber company. This terminated his interest in practical mining operations. In 1879 he was appointed by Gov. Carroll one of the Mine Commission, provided for by the current mining law, and had for his collegues Messrs. W. H. Smith, of Easton, and John Ryan, of Lonaconing, Md. More than a full share of the work performed fell to his lot, but he did it cheerfully, and it was ever a matter of regret with him that the findings and suggestions of the Commission were not fruitful of more good. In 1886 Gov. Lloyd appointed him Inspector of Mines to fill the unexpired term of Dennis Sheridan, deceased. He held this office a little over 18 months and gave its duties undivided thoughtful and intelligent attention. Of all who have held the position he was the best qualified. May 24, 1853, he married Catherine, third daughter of Mesheck Frost, who with four sons and three daughters, survives. The eldest son, Thomas H., is railway agent at Burnet, Texas; Charles H. and Mesheck P. are in Leadville, Col., engaged in mercantile pursuits; Mrs. Kate H. Dean lives at Trinidad, Col.; William, the youngest son, and Misses Lida and Anna, youngest daughters, are at home. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Sunday) morning at 10½ o'clock at St. Michael's church; interment in the Catholic cemetery. Without ever having been a practical miner, he was fully comversant with underground operations and technique. Next to his final request -- concerning his burial--he bequeathed to the JOURNAL all his mining memorabilia-- historical, statistical and expository-- collected within the half century of this region's operations "to the end," as he said, "that if there was any good in them it might live after him."

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT WASHINGTON MINE No. 5

Three Men Killed and Thirteen Others Injured by Collision on Incline Early This Morning - Two of Latter May Die
MEN WERE GOING UP PLANE TO WORK
Special to the Times ~ Westernport, Md., Jan. 25 - A dreadful accident occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning at Washington Mine No. 5 of the Piedmont and George's Creek Coal Co., near Franklin, Md., of which Mr. M. P. Fahey is superintendent, in which three men were killed instantly and thirteen others were badly, and one or two perhaps fatally injured.
The Killed
Jos. Blantt, Italian laborer
William Hamilton, blacksmith, of Franklin
James Condry, dumpman, of Franklin
The Injured
Kirk, a brakeman on the mine electric motor, injured in the arm and chest. He resides at Barton and will recover.
Edward Kight, carpenter, injured seriously about the head.
John and Louis Tucci, Italian laborers. Joseph hurt about the head, Louis in the legs and chest.
L. C. Lambert, leg broken; resides at Reb's station, near Westerport.
W. H. Smith, weightmaster, shoulder blade broken and injured in the back; resides at Reb's station.
James Gowan, laborer, face cut; resides at Barton.
George Hamilton, miner, face cut; resides at Franklin.
Ed Frazenbaker, roadsman, hurt about arm; resides at Westernport.
Thomas Murphy, fireman, eyes and back injured.
Escaped Injury
Earnest Phillips and Clarence McAllister, both of Franklin, escaped injury. Murphy was on the descending loaded cars; the others were all on the ascending empties. None of the cars were thrown from the track by collision.
How it Happened
As stated, the accident happened on the incline plane during the first trip of the day. The ascending cars are always empty and they meet the descending loads at an automatic switch half way up the incline. Here, of course, if the switch is properly set, they pass each other, keep to the track to the right and there is seldom any difficulty in passing. William Stowell, a lad sixteen or seventeen years old, is charged with setting the switch, and it is thought that in some way he neglected to perform his duty properly and hence the trips collided while going at a high speed.
The men were all riding up the incline on their way to work in or about the mines.
Condry and Blantt were killed instantly. Hamilton died at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Father Quinn, of Barton, and Scarpatti, of Morantown, were quickly on the scene.
Store Turned Into Hospital
The injured in the mine accident have all been taken to Gannon's store at Franklin, which has been turned into a temporary hospital. All the physicians of Piedmont and Westernport are in attendance.
Kight Has Since Died
Since the above story was written Mr. Edward Kight has died. Mr. L. C. Lambert and the three Italians who were seriously injured were taken to the Hoffman Hospital at Keyser. Mr. Kight died at 12:20. The others who were injured were taken to their homes, none of whom were seriously injured.
Mr. Lambert and the three Italians were reported in a critical condition at 4 o'clock.

HAMMER, Miss Sallie

Miss Sallie Hammer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hammer of Great Cacapon, died in the City Hospital in Martinsburg, her death being caused by an attack of peritonitis. She was aged 28 years. Miss Hammer went to the City Hospital April 1, and was then in a critical condition. An operation was deemed imperative, and this was performed. Her condition, however, had been such that the operation proved unavailing and she died a few days after it was performed. The girl at first claimed she had no relatives or friends, but when it was found that she could not recover, she told Dr. Oates that her parents resided in Great Cacapon, a few miles west of Hancock. Letters and telegrams were sent them, and a short time before the girl died she was visited by her brother and sister, who went away afterward. The brother stated that the dead girl had been cast off by her parents, and that he did not expect any interest in the disposal of the remains. As a result, Undertaker Wilen, of Martinsburg, buried the body in Green Hill cemetery at the expense of the county.

After an illness of one week, the spirit of Miss Daisy Beall Hammond, second daughter of Captain Eugene Hammond, passed to the higher life, at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at her home, 36 Chase street.

Clive Hammond, of Philadelphia, the latter being at the bedside of his sister when the end came. The remains of Miss Hammond will be taken to Washington, D. C.

HAMMOND, William P. (also FOUTCH, Charles & MOONEY, William J.)

W. J. MOONEY DIED AT HOME EARLY- TODAY ~ Had Been With Foutch Yesterday—W. P. Hammond Victim of Wood Alcohol Poison
County authorities are expected to investigate into sudden deaths of two local white men today, who, the Police Department believe, are the victims of poisonous liquor. One man is believed by police to be Charles "Cotton" Foutch, about 45, who had lived in a shack on lower Canal street, in the rear of the Crystal Laundry plant. He was found in a dying condition this morning in the shack and died at the Allegany Hospital a half hour later.
The other is William J. Mooney, aged 40, a laborer, who died early this morning at his home, 1004 Grape Alley, from undetermined causes.
William P. Hammond, 27, 573 Arnett Terrace, died suddenly Thursday night in Winchester, Va., while on a visit to relatives, of wood alcohol poisoning according to the county coroner at Winchester.

Foutch In Agony When Found
Foutch was found by Officers Raymond Johnston and John W. Smallwood lying on the floor of the shack about 10:30 o'clock this morning. Two men, Dewey Emerson and John Allen, had reported to the police that there was a sick man in a shack on Canal street. Foutch appeared in great agony, his hands clenched, mouth open, and in a semi-stupor, the officers said. He was placed in the patrol ambulance and taken to the Allegany Hospital. He was in a dying condition and lived only a short while after being examined by Dr. Charles Zimmerman. His body was removed to the Stein Funeral Home. The officers said they found nothing in the shack that would indicate that Foutch had been drinking, nor were they able to detect the odor of liquor on him.

Mooney Apparently Sober
William J. Mooney, age 38 years, unmarried, died at the home of his parents, Andrew and Johanna Mooney, 1004 Grape alley at 10:30 this morning. According to a statement from Andrew Mooney, his son came home last night around 10:30 o'clock and was apparently sober. He made some comment to Mrs. Mooney, his mother, about some-one dying or some-one dropping along the "Tow Path" when he was on his way home. The family was not certain as to just what the statement was, and Mrs. Mooney could not be interviewed. Andrew Mooney was emphatic about his son being sober and stated. "When he came in last night I never dreamed he would be a corpse this morning". Mr. Mooney claimed that during the night he heard his son coughing and called to him asking if he "wanted anything". His son said "no", and Mooney claimed he did not know he was sick until this morning when he appeared worse, and a physician was summoned. The actual cause of the death is vague, and physicians state Mooney was dying when they arrived. It has been determined however that Mooney had been "down along the tow path with some of the boys" and it is possible that his death may have been due to poison liquor. According to advice received by local authorities, Mooney and Foutch had been seen together yesterday. Mooney is survived, besides his parents, by one brother, Michael, and three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Litton, Thomas street, Mrs. Julia Frame, Pioneer Place and Mrs. Johanna Thomas, North Centre street.
